Competition and buying behavior.

Competition in the cleaning and laundry industry in the Abraka area is fierce. Research shows that there are seven dry cleaners in the city of Abraka, almost all of which offer custom cleaning services. The only competitor that offers the convenience of a door-to-door service is Cleaning Dry Convenience which offers dry cleaning and shoe repair services.

Future

Delta Cleaners is a startup and as such has little experience and is starting without market share. A continuous and effective marketing effort will be necessary to acquire a customer base. If the current competitors see us as a big threat and are aggressive and tiresome, it will be difficult for us to become a player in the market. The risk caused by competitors is possible, so the company should frequently monitor and evaluate its performance and collect customer feedback and suggestions as it progresses.

Weaknesses

Competition from competitors already established in Abraka. With no market share.

Less experience than competitors. ‘

We always participate in work and growth. Forecasts for cleaning and laundry services are expected to increase steadily through 2010.

There is a great chance of capturing customers. The ability to lower the price is paid as the market price increases.

If the business is successful, there will be new competitors who will offer the same service. New technological changes can bring new home washing machines for dry cleaning.
